The VOLVO S80 (2010-13) 4DR SALOON 1.6 D DRIVE DPF SS 115 EU5 ES 6SPD is a large, four-door executive saloon, aimed at buyers wanting comfort and space rather than a small city car or sporty hatchback. It sits in the same UK market as the BMW 5 Series, Mercedes-Benz E-Class and Audi A6, with Volvo’s understated, safety-focused image. This particular 1.6-litre diesel version is a more economical-minded choice than larger-engined S80s, with a manual six-speed gearbox and stop-start help for everyday running. Its roomy cabin and relaxed road manners make it well suited to commuters covering longer distances and couples or families needing a comfortable car for regular journeys. It is less compelling for drivers seeking brisk acceleration. mycarcheck.com has just one check and one VIN for this model, so its £2,700 valuation, 130,000-mile reading, 12,000 annual miles and two keepers are a limited snapshot; check service history carefully.
